• Description:
  Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have attracted a lot of interest in the past 20 years. Superior mechanical, electrical, and thermal properties have made CNTs the desired building blocks for hybrid materials and devices at the micro-and nanoscale. Another advantage is that different forms of CNT materials have. been developed for different applications. The powder form of CNTs is low-cost and useful as filler for polymers. Substrate grown CNT forests or arrays can be micrometers to centimeters in height and can be processed into various material forms. Arrays that are spinable can be pulled into a translucent beltlike CNT ribbon. When the tension on the ribbon is released, the CNTs tend to stick together to form a strand. Ribbon or strands also can be twisted using a bench-top machine into a CNT thread with a diameter of 4-10 um or larger. Recently, the smallest synthetic threads with a diameter of 350 nm were manufactured using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). These are called nanothreads. Two or more threads can be twisted together to form a CNT yarn. Threads can also be braided to form microbraid. CNT sheet drawn from the forest is a newly developed CNT material. The various forms of CNT materials each have different properties and are useful for specific applications. [Description provided by NIOSH]
